Tax and compliance for freelancers & professionals

Presumptive tax under 44ADA, GST once you cross the threshold, advance tax in four instalments, and the TDS your clients deduct reconciled and refunded.

A professional earning fees has three problems a salaried person never meets: clients deduct TDS at 10% that you have to reconcile and reclaim, advance tax falls due in instalments through the year, and once receipts cross ₹20 lakh the GST question stops being optional.

Section 44ADA lets a qualifying professional declare 50% of receipts as income without maintained books, up to ₹75 lakh if cash receipts are within 5%. We tell you whether that beats real books on your numbers, file the right form, and keep the GST and advance-tax calendar so nothing lands as a notice.

What you need handled

  • 44ADA or real books

    Presumptive is simpler; real books can be cheaper when expenses run well above half of receipts. We run both.

  • TDS reconciled and refunded

    Every client deduction in 26AS matched to an invoice, so the refund is claimed in full and no mismatch triggers a notice.

  • GST when it applies

    Registration at ₹20 lakh of services, export of services under LUT without charging GST, and monthly or quarterly returns after that.

  • Advance tax, four dates

    June, September, December and March. Under 44ADA the whole amount can go by 15 March. Missed instalments cost 1% a month.

Frequently asked

Do I need GST registration as a freelancer?+

Once aggregate receipts cross ₹20 lakh in a financial year (₹10 lakh in some special-category states). If your clients are outside India you still register, but you can export under a Letter of Undertaking without charging GST.

What is 44ADA and who qualifies?+

A presumptive scheme for specified professions (legal, medical, engineering, architecture, accountancy, technical consultancy, interior decoration and notified others) with receipts up to ₹50 lakh, or ₹75 lakh where cash receipts are 5% or less. You declare 50% of receipts as income and skip audited books.

My clients deduct 10% TDS. How do I get it back?+

By filing your return. The deductions sit in your 26AS; the return sets them off against your tax and the balance is refunded, usually within a few weeks of e-verification.

Do I have to pay advance tax?+

If your tax after TDS exceeds ₹10,000 for the year, yes. Under 44ADA a single payment by 15 March is allowed; otherwise it is four instalments. Our advance tax calculator shows the amounts.

Should I form a company or LLP instead of staying a proprietor?+

Usually not until you hire, raise money or want limited liability. A proprietor on 44ADA pays tax at slab rates on half of receipts, which is hard to beat at typical freelance income. We will tell you when the switch starts to make sense.
